5 Easy Steps to Beat Keto Flu

Beware the ketosis boogeyman, The Great Keto Flu! It’s really not that scary, as long as you know how to fight it. And fight it, we will. Five simple moves to put keto flu on its back for good.

“Ye who forgo carbohydrates shall suffer,” is what I imagine is written on the tomb of the slumbering keto flu boogeyman. I know you’ve come across this fact of the ketogenic life. It’s likely the first thing you ever heard about ketosis. For some, it’s the last – they get so scared that they never go the distance.

First of all, keto flu is a good sign. Secondly, it’s completely natural. And lastly, it is eminently beatable. With knowledge and a simple plan of action on your side, you’ll be able to stomp out the abject terror that The Great Keto Flu has come to herald.

If you’ve come to the keto flu crossing and turned back, if you’ve been getting your tuckus kicked by the beast for way longer than you should – this video will give you clear-cut moves to finally ascend victorious.

Part of overcoming keto flu is balancing electrolytes, which I talk about in length in today’s video. The easiest way to balance electrolytes on keto is with bone broth. Either make your own (or if you’re lazy like me) buy it! My favorite is Kettle & Fire. And, because we’re talking all about electrolytes today, Kettle & Fire put together a special offer for us! Get 20% OFF + free shipping on your first order of Kettle & Fire’s bone broth.

I am experiencing excruciatingly hot flashes/blood boiling symptoms! I think I need to add Magnesium. Reading on Bone broth, fat bombs, etc. but I have been right on target these past 4 days with all my macros.

I recently started eating keto through a competition at my gym. It involved a strict meal plan which included lots of eggs, bacon, cheese, heavy cream, fat bombs, etc. (and an exogenous ketone supplement… yuck.) I quickly realized this was just not the plan for me because the hunger was real, my body’s response to dairy was real and my fat loss results plateaued. After a lot of online research, I found Leanne’s YouTube videos and devoured dozens. I subscribed to the 3-month meal plan and bought The Keto Diet book. After 1 week of the meal plan, I have broken through the plateau and lost 4lbs and 2% body fat. Even though that’s great, the best thing is the yummy food, no dairy in my life anymore, and I feel full and do not want to eat my arm off at the end of the day. Now all my gym friends who are in the challenge are curious about what and I was able to convince several others to buy your book. You have majorly impressed me and I believe what you’re doing is more than clinical and not a one-size-fits-all canned plan. I look forward to making this journey my way of life and engaging with your plan every step of the way!

Leanne was a breath of fresh air and helped me realize that perfection isn’t necessary or healthy. I finally stepped away from MyFitnessPal, my Fitbit, my Ketonix, my labs, the scale, and actually started to care about what I was missing out on in the pursuit of “optimum health” and achieving a desired thinness. I’m still working on developing relationship with my body, food, fasting, and fitness — it’s a work in progress that I truly think I can achieve thanks to Leanne’s help.

Found you when I needed you most. I have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, PCOS, sleep apnea, and many other health conditions. Started watching all of your videos and listening to podcasts and I have been eating keto for almost 2 months now. I have my own period after never having one EVER without birth control and I feel amazing! Thank you for everything that you do!

 Jessica

I have been on and off keto for years. I purchased the Keto Bundle a few days ago and read the whole book today. You answered questions I got from nowhere else – why I can’t sleep – why my carbs and calories are too low – thank you!

I found your podcast just before I decided to try Keto. I was on my way home from a weekend in Boston and was driving back to NJ (February 2017) I listed to your podcast the entire ride and not only did I learn so much about Keto but I was fully inspired. I continue to eat Keto and listen to every podcast every week; it continues to inspire and teach me. I have lost 17 pounds and truly upped my game when in comes to my work outs — keto (and Leanne) have changed my life.

Leanne and Healthful Pursuit have been a lifesaver for me, a recovering exercise bulimic, bulimic, binge eater and daily marijuana vape user. By switching to a keto/paleo lifestyle, I have decreased urges, binges, and negative thinking/ negative body image and have found more time for what’s most important, like my three children; as well as lost the drug habit! Leanne and her program fill in the gaps of keto info for women where Bulletproof, Jimmy Moore and others leave off. Her experience with women’s issues and eating disorders are exactly what every woman needs to find not only their best self but their health and hunger for life again!

I have had issues with my menstrual cycle and being on oral contraceptives. I saw my physician and she is supportive of my whole food keto lifestyle and is supportive of me going off hormones for birth control. I want to thank you for being so open about your experiences and inspiring me to find my path. I think I’m on the right path now to find what works to be my best self.

Love your book and love your podcasts. I had an issue with my heart a year ago and it scared me into taking that expensive blood test for food allergies. I had severe toxins from candida and horrible intolerance to sugar and turkey, among other things. My cardiologist said it wasn’t food allergies causing my heart issues, but for the first time I said “not yet” to a doctor wanting to do surgery. Six weeks later with no sugar, low carbs and healthy fats…heart issue is GONE! My doctor was baffled, and one year later I am 50 pounds less.

I ADORE YOU!! Your podcast is changing my life and the filter in which I view myself especially postpartum. It is no longer about weight loss, but feeling the best I can as a mom! I bought your Keto Diet book and am excited to join your Facebook group as well! Thanks from the bottom of my heart. I literally can’t stop telling everyone to listen!!

 Whitney

I love this program! After watching some of Leanne’s videos, I decided to take a risk by eating high-fat. My body has healed SO MUCH over the past few months. Fat fueled is an awesome guide to eating high fat and healing your body.

I just wanted​ to send you a message telling you how much I enjoy listening to your podcast. I found you on Instagram right as I decided to try keto. You have been so inspirational and I have learned so much from you. I tell my friends that I binge listened to your podcast because I listened to every episode since April this year, and I have enjoyed every one of them. I listen to them mostly while I’m running and get to the end of my run without even realizing it because I have been so focused on the information I’m hearing. I also wanted to tell thank you for the quality of the content that you share. I just wanted to share with you that I have enjoyed your show from the beginning but now that I’m caught up and trying to find another show I realized just how much I enjoyed it. Thank you for all you do for this community.

I’m new to Leanne’s version of the ketogenic lifestyle and I’m feeling better every day! I was starting to look and feel my age, and now I feel like my 30-year-old self and back in my sexy clothes! Life is good!

I had been at a plateau in my weight loss for over a month. After watching your videos about fasting and carbing-up, I’m finally back into losing weight! Thanks for all the great tips. I enjoy learning about keto and all of its aspects.

Leanne, I love you and your fabulous work! I am a type 1 diabetic living a low carb lifestyle. Finding your program Fat Fueled and your keto way was life changing and liberating for me. You have an amazing ability to think outside the box! Hugs from Germany <3
